Mitch's 97 TJ 5.3/4L80E/Atlas/60s

Mitch

I have a build thread on Pirate 4x4 for my 97 TJ, but thought I would keep up some of my updates on RME. Future upgrades will be a T70 turbo and water to air intercooler. Should be around 550HP with the 5.3 and a60lb injectors. LS1 Tech has great threads.

As for this thread I will be putting all the info I gathered from other forums and resources to build this TJ.

Damn Mitch, you've been busy! That's a great way to make a 6.0l look bad! Have you driven it yet?

 

[jinxspot]

SOO SOOO SOOO Jeaslous... very nice man!!! Can't to see it out performing!

 

[UFAB]

It runs OK. Little rich, but that is better than lean. Throwing a few small codes on the MAF 0102. Trying to figure tthat one out. The IAT sensor is usually integrated in the maf, but I have a new one in the supercharger boost area.. Spliced it in, reads IAT temps at the computer, but not sure on the MAF at the filter.

 

[Greg]

If you have any questions that are stumping you, perhaps taking to 'Hunt' on here would help. He bought my old 5.3l TJ and supercharged it as well.

Doing old school this year?

 

[UFAB]

Old school might be fun. Have to check the Calender. Think I am bagging KOH and doing the EJS thing with my uncle from the east coast. Also got some big jobs that have dead lines.

Hunt, thanks. I check it out

[mesha]

thanks for the updates. I have been waiting.

400-500 HP can create problems..

 

[Greg]

That sucks! What happened, wheel hop break the gears or something else?

 

[UFAB]

At the play ground showing off. Lawn darted it up a 3-4ft wall. Dropped the throttle wide open...

Always happens when you're showing off!

I did that same thing to a Toyota ring & pinion in my old 4Runner while in Moab, spinning 38" SX's on Main Street during the car show weekend.
